As a Christian integrative therapist trained in both counselling & psychotherapy, I work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of issues from anxiety and self-esteem to spirituality and sexual function.
We often spend so much of our lives in a place of reactivity - simply surviving and at the mercy of life's ups and downs. I help clients move to a place of reflection and heightened self-awareness, so they can choose to get off the rollercoaster and quiet the noise around them. This allows freedom to choose next steps with clarity instead of simply reacting. If this resonates with you, then I'd be privileged to help you too. One thing you probably need to hear right now is that you are far from alone, and support is always available if you are willing to reach out for it.

I understand the complexity and challenge that culture, race, gender and spirituality can have on our lived experiences and this is something we can explore together in sessions.
People can sometimes think of therapy as a sign of weakness, when really it’s a sign of courage and strength. Therapy means not having to face your issues alone. It also offers the opportunity for exploration and insight, empowering you to understand yourself better and make long-lasting change. I provide a warm, safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can come as you are, and together we can think about and make sense of whatever’s troubling you. I work with a range of issues including: anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, cultural difficulties, compulsive behaviours, bereavement and self-harm.

I invite you to connect to my ‘learned’ collective wisdom of enlightened spirituality.
Whenever you're not willing to feel an emotion, your choices and behaviours stem from your avoidance of that emotion. Your resistance runs your life & is directly contrary to your overall best interest. Similarly, traumas are incidents unable to be completed. The energies of these traumas are stored in our body until they can be released. I assist you to unlock these traumas by reactivating the emotional responses to these trapped emotions, which unlocks the synapses in the brain, allowing new positive emotional learning to replace the old trauma. Your energy field then becomes less dense, & a new sense of freedom takes hold.

I also work with more subtle concerns, such as finding meaning, spirituality, and other existential or self-identity related questions.
The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I am a down-to-earth, intelligent and non-judgmental integrative psychotherapist working with a range of issues. Ideally, therapy is a collaborative partnership and my style is active and empowering. I see you as the 'expert' in your life and myself as the 'expert' on therapeutic interventions. Together we focus on utilising your strengths and fostering insight and awareness in a safe and confidential environment. I love my work and look forward to helping you improve your mental health and wellbeing

Over the years I have learnt to use the challenges and adversities of life as a way for self-growth and connecting with my spirituality.
Hi I am a person centred counsellor, and clinical supervisor based in South Manchester. I believe the first step to therapy can be the most difficult yet courageous. There are times when we could use some space to talk about and process what we are feeling and explore life issues, allowing yourself permission to reach out and talk to someone can be half the battle. I offer a warm, non-judgemental safe space, meeting you where you are at with compassion and acceptance, so you can be yourself.

I am supportive and warm and have a deep wisdom around spirituality and personal growth.
Sometimes we experience feelings of anger, stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness which can dominate our lives. As an Art Therapist I would offer a warm and accepting psychotherapeutic relationship where both positive and negative emotions can be explored and understood through the medium of art. I offer a chance for clients to discover the creativity within their inner selves and to have a shared experience of exploring a different method of expression when some feelings are just too deep for words. Above all, I offer a comforting space, where my clients can become empowered and lead a more positive life.

There are times we may find ourselves with more questions than answers. There are the big questions, 'what is the meaning of life?' 'or Why am I here?' Perhaps you are stuck with '...and what now?'. When faced with life's difficulties, counselling helps to make meaning of and process painful life experiences. I have worked with children, young people & adults for over 12 years with Issues such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, relationship & family breakdown, self-harm, abuse, poor self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, harmful sexual behaviour, and identity.

Spirituality Counsellors
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
